Pain and sleep behavior disorder study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at pain in people with a sleep condition called idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), where people act out their dreams. It also includes a group of people with narcolepsy who have similar sleep issues. The goal is to understand how pain relates to these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are diagnosed with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) confirmed by a sleep test (polysomnography).
- You do not have Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, or multiple system atrophy.
- You are able to understand and complete the study procedures and questionnaires.
- If you are in the control group, you have narcolepsy type 1 and also have REM sleep behavior disorder confirmed by a sleep test.
- You do not have severe depression.

This study looks at sleep problems in people with Parkinson's disease, people with REM sleep behavior disorder (a condition that causes acting out dreams), and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how sleep is affected in early and full Parkinson's disease.
This study examines brain changes in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (acting out dreams during sleep) and early Parkinson's disease using brain imaging scans. Researchers want to understand how sleep problems relate to Parkinson's development and find early warning signs.
This study tests whether playing soft sounds during deep sleep can slow down brain changes in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (a condition linked to Parkinson's disease). It is for people who have this sleep disorder or were recently diagnosed with Parkinson's, and are not yet on Parkinson's medications.
This study looks at how the brain changes (“neuroplasticity”) in people diagnosed with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) using brain stimulation and other testing. Results may help researchers understand brain differences in iRBD and guide future treatments.
This study looks at the needs of people with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) and the people close to them. It aims to understand how this condition affects daily life and relationships.
This study looks at people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), confirmed by a sleep test, who may be in the early “prodromal” stage before Parkinson’s or related diseases. It also enrolls healthy controls to compare results from brain and body testing to better understand who is at risk.
